Mixtape

I didn’t realize how weeks passed since I came in here. Guess studying, music and reading made these weeks feel like seconds. Today I handed in my first essay and now I’m just sitting around bored at 22:48 after I watched Toy Story 3, which I must say that you should all go watch. Anyway, this post has nothing to do with Toy Story 3 or any other movie.

Since I’m bored and I have no cassettes or any means that would help me to make a mixtape and I feel like making one I’ll do it here with videos from youtube. Corny? Who cares? It’s the internet and you can do, say and write whatever you please. So if you’re going to whine, save it. Enjoy.

1: Such Great Heights, originally written and performed by “The Postal Service”. I won't lie. I did hear this song first by Streetlight Manifesto covering it. I like both versions the same but not being able to pick which one I should put on here I’ll put the original.



2: Kristina She Don’t Know I Exist, originally written and performed by Catch 22. A good friend of mine played this song for me when we were 15 or 16 and I loved it.




3: Twisting the night away, by Sam Cooke. This might be an old one but it never fails to cheer me up. I was in between this and “We’re Having A Party” but I picked this one because I can.




4: When You’re Smiling, by Louis Prima. Once again I was in between “When You’re Smiling” and “Banana Split For My Baby” but I picked this one for obvious reasons.





5: Beyond The Sea, by Bobby Darin. After this summer vacations this song seems to soften the images in my head and remind me of a small car packed with tents, sleeping bags and 4 loud mouths.




6: Walking My Baby Back Home, Nat King Cole. Just because I like it?




7:Everyday by Buddy Holly. I always liked Buddy Holly but I had never listened to his music and even when I had I didn't know it was Buddy Holly. A couple of years ago I started getting familiar with his music so this MUST go up. Plus, this song was in one of my all time favorite movies “Stand By Me”.





8: Gone For Good, The Shins. I discovered The Shins at the beginning of this year and even though I haven’t listened to them properly this song got stuck in my head and made me look for their music.





9: Rock Hard Times, by the Eeels: When I was back home earlier this year I went through my old cds. The ones I used to listen to when in high-school and I fell all over again for the “Shootenanny” album. Listened to it on repeat for a week or so, so here you go.






10: Can I Change My Mind, by Delroy Wilson. No reasons. Just because I can.





11: Bobby Jean by Bruce Springsteen. You cannot have a mixtape without Bruce Springsteen in it.






There would be more but I got tired and I'm pretty sure these would fill the first side of a cassette. I might do the other side some other time. Till then, BABABOOEE.
